The complexity of the visual analyzer organization is an incentive for the search and improvement of its diagnostic methods, which allow us to assess visual perception and the effectiveness of processing information obtained as a result of the visual pathway. The review considers in detail the methods of studying the central departments of the visual analyzer, which presumably are crucial in the processes of neuroadaptation.
